RPA Inspectors Use GPS Mapping Devices
RPA inspectors are using new highly-accurate GPS mapping devices for farm inspections.
Advanced new GPS mapping devices are being used by Rural Payments Agency (RPA) inspectors this autumn, allowing pinpoint accuracy to within half a metre.
The new Leica CS25 device means the RPA has the most up-to-date technology available during inspections for measuring land. It also has increased digital connectivity, releasing inspectors from burdensome administration and allowing them to work more efficiently.

Gold Stolen In Brighton Burglary
Police are appealing for witnesses after gold jewellery was stolen during a burglary at a home in Brighton.
Between 11.30am and 12.30pm on Thursday 2nd October a house in Cowfold Road was broken into and gold bangles, gold chains and a gold wedding ring were stolen.
Detective Constable Scott Moore said: "The victims are very distressed as not only was their home violated but the intruders caused a considerable amount of damage forcing entry and searching for valuables.
"The owners had only left their home for an hour so it is possible the offenders were watching the property and waited for them to go out.
"We need to speak to anyone who was in Cowfold Road around lunchtime on Thursday who saw someone acting suspiciously, or anyone who has seen any unusual vehicles in the area."
